This function will be documented as returning a tuple of (data, 
data_type).  Hence, tuple[0] is your data, which itself is a list.

You pass the type you want to set as one param, and the data as another. 
  Try just passing tuple[0] back into the function (but obviously 
specifying REG_MULTI_SZ as the type)
